Nuggets of Wisdom

Haughtiness goes before destruction; humility precedes honor

Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks sense, but a person with understanding keeps silent.

So I realized that wisdom is better than power. But if you are poor, nobody accepts that you are also wise. People soon forget what you said.

Like a door turning back and forth on its hinges, the lazy person turns over and over in bed

A wise person's heart controls his speech, and what he says helps others learn.

People with good sense are slow to anger, and it is their glory to overlook an offense.

The thoughts of the righteous are just; the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.

Discipline your child while there is hope, but don't get so angry that you kill him!
